For an average worker, Lexmark Optra C520 is more than an adequate printer as long as you don’t require heavy graphic printing. This machine can handle various types of office documents such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, pdf and others. A home based business will be thrilled with its fast performance and up to par quality prints that can attract clients and potential customers. Images stay true to its details, colors are accurate and texts appear crisp and sharp. This small footprint machine can handle a maximum of 250 sheets of paper. Unpacking may take up to 15 minutes, starting from the removal of packing tapes up to the installation of drivers. Duplexer is not included but you can still print on both sides manually without any hassles.

It supports Windows, Mac and Linux OS, and just like most laser color printers, this comes a little heavy and massive looking for a small-spaced office. LCD screen at the front panel provides various printing options like print density, paper type, thickness and toner levels. Standard resolution is 600 dpi, but you can print up to 2400 x 1200 dpi maximum resolution. To yield better quality outputs and print production, purchase generic ink toner cartridges number 4 for this series.
